Monday, Sept. 15th was International Dot Day! Our media coordinator, Mrs. Allbach, helped us with an awesome lesson that integrated Literacy, Art, and Technology! She read a book called, "The Dot" by Peter H. Reynolds.
After reading the book, the students decorated their own dots with colored pencils!
Then using an Ipad App called colAR the students made their dots come alive! It was so neat to see their 2D pictures come to life in 3D swirling spheres on the Ipad! They looked like beautiful balls of color spinning around and around!
How cool!?!
Everyone LOVED this lesson and had a blast making their Dots move!
We are so thankful to Mrs. Allbach for helping us with this lesson and letting us use our library's Ipads!
This week we started learning all about Apples. We have been integrating them in to lots of our lessons. In science we are learning about what a Scientist is and what they do. We talked about how they make observations and record their observations in their science journals.
Tuesday we enjoyed a yummy apple snack and then used them as part of our Science lesson. We observed what our apples looked like, even using magnifying glasses to look closely at the different colors and patterns on the skin of the apples.
After making our observations and recording (drawling) what we observed in our science journals, my little Scientist enjoyed a sweet and healthy treat!
Everyone loved being Scientist for the day!
Awesome observations!
